Bless Your Heart Card

Happy Saturday...

I really haven't participated in many challenges lately (aside from the design team challenges for Digi Haven and CardzTV Stamps), but I felt inspired after seeing the sketch for the CAS(E) this Sketch! challenge.

Here is my card:

This is the inspiration sketch:

Finished Card: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

Materials:

Cardstock: White and Red

Darice Embossing Essentials Folder Tree With Leaves

CardzTV with Mary Clear Stamps Encouraging Thoughts, "Bless Your Heart!"

Small Heart Punch

Black Pigment Ink

Mounting Tape

I had just bought the embossing folder a few days before I saw the challenge, so when I saw the sketch, I immediately thought "This is Perfect!" What do you think? I know the embossed tree is hard to see in the photo, but I hope you can appreciate how pretty it is. The hearts are single mounted, as well as the sentiment.

Hope you have a great day. I'm off to work on a house project, that will hopefully be finished this coming week. I am planning to post some pictures once it is done.

Thanks for stopping by. Please leave a comment.

Digi Haven Challenge "Winter/Snow"

Time for another challenge here at Digi Haven. This week's cool challenge is "Winter/Snow." We are kindly sponsored by Dilly Beans Stamps. The winner will receive 3 images from Dilly Beans. (That is just so generous...wish I could play along, so I could win...lol). Challenge will run until Jan 31st.

I actually made two (2) cards. Here is the first:

and the second card:

Finished Cards: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

Materials:

Cardstock: (1st) White, Pine Green, Light Blue and Patterned

(2nd) White, Bright Pink and Patterned

Dilly Bean Stamps Digital Image #494 Penguin Framed

Spectrum Noir Markers

Fiskars Border Punch Snowflake Swirl (2nd card)

Mounting Tape (2nd card)

I just love penguins and I was tickled pink when I was able to use one of Dilly Beans Stamps penguin images. Isn't he just adorable? I thought so...which is why I got carried away making a second card....well, that AND Santa brought me ALL the Spectrum Noir Markers Sets. (Now I have the entire collection! Thank you Santa!) I had been sick (flu AND strep, what a combination, huh?), so I really couldn't wait to play once I was feeling better. 

On the first card, I thought the background looked like snow falling. I also decided to have the card open is a different way and no embellishments. I really like the way this turned out...what do you think?

The second card I like because of the bolder colors...something different. The image is single mounted and again no extra embellishments aside form the border punch. Do you like this one?

I hope you decide to join the challenge and don't forget to check out the other designers at Digi Haven. They have some beautiful projects. 

Thanks for stopping by. Please leave a comment and let me know what you think. Which card is your favorite?

I would like to enter this into Cupcake Inspirations challenge.

I added the Glossy Accents to Stella's glasses and to the two Martini glasses. While it was still wet, I added a small amount of fine glitter to the drinking glasses. After they were dry, I glittered Stella's hair. I thought the glittered background looked festive, like she was at some type of party...hey, maybe this was New Years Eve! (ha ha ha).
